Avatism - Adamant

KONSTANTIN SIBOLD & LEIF MÜLLER - KOLIBRI - COCOON COMPILATION N - CORLP036

Richard Davis’ ‘Same Room’, a June release from the Berlin-educated Londoner that rumbled and tech-stepped its way into Pete Tong’s Weekend Hot Mix, makes a reappearance on Slovenia’s Danza Macabra imprint for the tail-end of the summer. Following a sharp label remix on the original three-track package, ‘Same Room Recomposed’ features two follow-up contrasts in the dark arts of deep house and techno, provided by the scheming Avatism and Swayzak.

Thomas Feriero as Avatism casts a stark spectre across the depths between doom-predicting house and powerfully chorded progressive techno, circling his own ‘Adamant’ album from last year. Glints of light scurry as if they’re trying to play tricks on you, and breakdowns cannot fail to put spines on ice. Authoritative string sweeps, whose scrutinising nature is as if Avatism is examining the crowd with a magnifying glass, are in direct competition with sprawling jet-powered basslines skulking below the dancefloor’s surface. Fully understanding the ideology of epic, it’s a thrill ride never found ever letting its guard down, travelling from minimal and primal to escalating and elaborate.

One of techno/tech house’s higher educators is David Brown under the seasoned guise of Swayzak; reunited with Davis after 2013’s ‘Shut Me Down’, the ‘Tordal Smesh’ mix begins as a booming pound of house shadowing the earth’s core. After descrambling signals moving in reverse while vocal strains apply hot breath to your ears - the pump of the drum unwavering to what is an enigmatic thought process - Swayzak’s decision to take his time turns Davis’ original into a game of cat and mouse. Just when you think it’s all gone quiet and the track is being put to bed, it dramatically kicks back into life as the bottom end reactivates and puts game faces back in play.

LONELY

Paride Saraceni’s debut Truesoul release, ‘Burning’, brings us three uplifting and vocal-heavy tech house tracks. A steady groove throughout, Saraceni’s choice of instrumentation and flowing percussion create a melodic yet techy release with all three tracks laced with a solid kick drum, tinkering high hats and sporadic vocals. ‘Burning’ is is the perfect offering for the new year and proves there are big things on the horizon for Saraceni.

When It Rain

Exclusive Premiere via The Fader
http://www.thefader.com/2016/10/12/riobamba-apocalipsis-hecho-hechizo

"Brooklyn-based Ecuadorian-Lithuanian DJ Riobamba has launched a new, multi-faceted record label called APOCALIPSIS to highlight artists from Latin America and its diaspora. As she told The FADER, it will provide 'urbano storytelling for a ni aquí/ni allá [neither from here/nor there] creation of place.' The agency aims to do everything in its power (A&R, marketing, event production) to grow visibility for a wealth of Latin American narratives.

As a first taste of what's to come, Riobamba is sharing "Hecho/Hechizo," a bootleg she's made to tease a forthcoming EP from Ecuadorian producer amaF alaM (@z-e-w) on the label. It's one that epitomizes APOCALIPSIS's mission statement to the letter: a radically self-expressive piece of futurism that stands against a single, boxed-in definition of what Latinx club music can be.

''Hecho/Hechizo' is a translation of my love for noise, inherited folklore, and brujería,' Riobamba told The FADER over email. 'Earthquake field recordings, deconstructed DJ Playero reggaetón heritage samples via Kelman Duran, and amaF alaM's original collide for a retelling of a warrior call from his Quinchuqui indigenous community.'

amaF alaM's Anta EP will be out via APOCALIPSIS in late November. Until then, do yourself a kindness and listen to Riobamba's genre-transcending FADER Mix here."

Now one of dance music’s most respected DJs, Avalon Emerson first made a name for herself in the storied warehouse scene of her birthplace, San Francisco, before relocating to Berlin in 2013. Over a decade of performances at the famed Berghain led to appearances at numerous festivals around the world which all cemented Emerson, and her evocative, genre- and decade-spanning sets, as perennially in demand. 

In 2020, she released her first full-length collection: a contribution to the longrunning DJ-Kicks series (which Resident Advisor described as “The sound of a well-honed DJ at the top of her game.”), nestled alongside a steady stream of remix releases for the likes of Four Tet, Slowdive, Robyn and more.

Next up was 2023’s Avalon Emerson & The Charm, an instant classic which saw Emerson exploring her singing voice and more traditional songwriting outside of the boundaries of her dance music work.  Created after a move to New York, the resulting & The Charm album was released to critical acclaim, landing on numerous critics’ best-of-the-year lists.

The stage is now set, then, for her to carve out a wholly unique path, and with the help of new label home and indie giant, Dead Oceans, Emerson is poised to connect her various musical endeavors to create an untouchably rich output of material. First up is Perpetual Emotion Machine, consisting of songs created for her DJ sets, delivered via a living, evolving project and announced ahead of her worldwide tour.
